MATUKABOU STREAMER


Some guys on the bulletin board asked me to send this fly, tied step by step. This pattern is not my creation, I saw it many years ago in a fly fishing magazine, but I can't remember which one was. Perhaps I made some variation of this fly along the years of fly tying, but this one works excellent for me.


Of course I was inspired in the well-known Matuka, the New Zealand's fly. Instead of 2 or 4 horizontal feathers as in the original, we use 4-6 binds (is it the correct word?) of marabou.
